Want To Upgrade Your (Simulated) Cockpit To A G1000 For
Only$49.95?
Even the Flight Simulator crowd can't stand to have anything but
the latest generation of avionics in front of them while
flying...
An exclusive distribution agreement has been reached between
Eaglesoft Development Group and Mindstar Aviation to provide
aviation enthusiasts with Garmin G1000 Avionics Packages for use in
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and the forthcoming Flight
Simulator X (which is supposed to be a significant step forward for
an already accomplished software program).
Mindstar Aviation brings its expertise in high tech motion
picture production software, and twenty years of real world pilot
experience, to the process and adds the strong technical expertise
of Eaglesoft Development Group to produce a unique
collaboration.
The Garmin G1000 for
Microsoft Flight Simulator product is currently utilizing a Cessna
cockpit though a Diamond DA40/DA42 variant is promised shortly. the
program requires Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (or the
forthcoming FSX), is Windows XP and Windows 2000 Compatible and
requires a 1.2 GHz or faster CPU. The program adds the Garmin G1000
panel to default Cessna 182 in MSFS, and includes a fully
functioning PFD, Audio Panel, and MFD, though the MFD and PFD are
"Undockable" so that they may be depicted separately in a multiple
monitor installation.
The Mindstar folks note that the product's features are still
being updated, but that upgrades are free. The program is
available, only, online and retails for only $49.95.
Mindstar Aviation tells ANN that their primary efforts will be
focused on real world training aspects of the G1000 on the
Microsoft Flight Simulator platform, while Eaglesoft Development
Group will make their primary focus the release of complete
Aircraft and Avionics Packages for flight simulation enthusiasts
around the world.
